Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transmitter, method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium for quantized precoding in a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. In example embodiments, a transmitter determines a normalized factor for precoding of a plurality of signals intended for a plurality of receivers. The first device precodes the plurality of intended signals using the normalized factor by iteratively performing acts. The acts include determining, by using the normalized factor, a descending direction of a difference between the plurality of intended signals and corresponding signals received at the plurality of receivers, a descending rate of the difference being above a threshold rate in the descending direction, and determining a plurality of precoded signals based on the descending direction. Then, the first device quantizes the plurality of precoded signals for transmission by the transmitter to the plurality of receivers.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a phased antenna array on an antenna module. The array may include low band antennas and high band antennas that radiate at frequencies greater than 10 GHz. The module may include antenna layers, transmission line layers, and ground traces that separate the antenna layers from the transmission line layers. The low band antennas and the high band antennas may have radiators patterned onto the antenna layers. The radiators may be fed by transmission lines on the transmission line layers. The antenna layers may have a dielectric permittivity that is greater than the dielectric permittivity of the transmission line layers. This may serve to reduce the lateral footprint of the low band and high band antennas, which allows the antennas to be interleaved along a common linear axis in the phased antenna array, thereby minimizing the lateral footprint of the antenna module.

Abstract: An electronic device may have an antenna embedded in a substrate. The substrate may have first layers, second layers on the first layers, and third layers on the second layers. The antenna may include a first patch on the first layers that radiates in a first band, a second patch on the second antenna layers that radiates in a second band, and a parasitic patch on the third layers. A short path may couple ground to a location on the first patch that allows the first patch to form a ground extension in the second band for the second patch without affecting performance of the first patch in the first band. The first layers may have a higher dielectric permittivity than the second and third layers to minimize the thickness of the substrate without requiring a separate dielectric loading layer over the substrate.

Abstract: A system, program product, and method for use with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to dynamically amend a knowledge base responsive to query evaluating and processing. A received or detected query is subject to natural language processing to identify, annotate, and map one or more query tokens against a knowledge base. The query tokens are evaluated against the knowledge base to identify one or more query tokens absent from the knowledge base and leverage a neural network to predict a probability relationship between the query tokens absent from the knowledge base and one or more tokens populated in the knowledge base. The natural language (NL) query is translated to a structured query language (SQL) and the SQL query is executed and evaluated, and the knowledge base is selectively and dynamically amended subject to the SQL evaluation.

Abstract: A circuit (e.g., for use in a time-of-flight camera projector module) may include a top metal layer having an anode and a cathode, one or more capacitors connected to the anode, a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser connected to the anode and the cathode, and a driver connected to the cathode. The circuit may further include a bottom metal layer connected to ground and arranged below the top metal layer, and a dielectric layer separating the top metal layer and the bottom metal layer. In some implementations, the dielectric layer has a thickness under sixty micrometers and a thermal resistance under fifteen degrees Celsius per watt. Accordingly, a current loop flowing vertically across the dielectric layer has a low self-inductance based on the thickness of the dielectric layer and the bottom metal layer is arranged to dissipate heat generated by the current loop flowing vertically across the dielectric layer.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a cover layer and an antenna. A dielectric adapter may have a first surface coupled to the antenna and a second surface pressed against the cover layer. The cover layer may have a three-dimensional curvature. The second surface may have a curvature that matches the curvature of the cover layer. Biasing structures may exert a biasing force that presses the antenna against the dielectric adapter and that presses the dielectric adapter against the cover layer. The biasing force may be oriented in a direction normal to the cover layer at each point across dielectric adapter. This may serve to ensure that a uniform and reliable impedance transition is provided between the antenna and free space through the cover layer over time, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the antenna.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an automatic leveling control method for a four-leg support working platform, which comprises the steps: determining the mass center position of the working platform, determining the main bearing quadrant and distinguishing active legs from the driven leg; adjusting the driven leg to weak state, controlling all legs to synchronously actuate for leveling; calculating the limit compensating actuation length of the driven leg, and performing compensating actuation until accomplishing the leveling process. The method is advantageous in: high speed, high robustness, no repeated oscillation. The mass center always stays within the bearing zone of the active legs, thus completely eliminating capsizing risk of the working platform. The compensating actuation of the driven leg ensures there is no weak leg, and hence high attitude and load-bearing stability of the working platform is achieved.
